Far, Far, Away

A snippet of a piece I am working on right now, hopefully for a show this summer.

*Fairy Tale Illustration Gallery
*Anoushka Houtsmuller's hats are clever
*Having seen someone the other day with yarn extensions, I did a little searching on flickr. Images here, here, and here.

Illustration Friday - Monster

You have to start somewhere. Even if you're a monster.

*Make's newsprint flip flops
*Studio Espinosa
*I like the font adhesive and the story behind it

Curls

I love drawing on grade school lined paper. I recently saw some photos of Junya Watanabe's clothes - that's the inspiration.

*Recycled accessories
*The Flickr "Use What You Have" group
*Tokyo Recycle

Par Avion

From a book of old postcards (the chateau at Langeais) that I found at a yard sale. I like the trees growing out of the old castle.

Things:
*Feric Studio
*Quilt Art
*Saori's livejournal

Illustration Friday - Insect

"Lady Bug, Lady Bug, fly away home."

Pencil, color added in photoshop

*Thai shadowbox ornaments

*Bento boxes

*Amazing textiles in this jacket

Let them eat cake

Detail of a diorama I made last week, all fitted in a small tin that was painted with an illustration board frame. A prototype for things to come.
